Neat. Simple, effective. I guess the big challenge will be to ensure there are enough output options to cater for all tastes?

Wow, that's very impressive. Another example of how things are likely to change. Creating complete 'songs' through singing could open up a huge area of new entertainment to rival Karaoke maybe?

Whoa, any examples you can screengrab? I'm seeing a number of other changes (relating to location mostly), and suggestions for running the search on places like Trip Advisor, but not You.com.

That's so not funny, it's probably true.

I think the main point about all this is that Google search results are now a complete joke for the most part. After you scroll down through the list of paid ads, the top results are typically a bunch of SEO gamed waffle, stuffed with long

I've got to say it was one of the most painfully bad presentations I've ever seen, from any company or organization. Spectacular fail.

The Verge is a long established tech blog.

Yep, I've definitely had the same weirdness in the past. Messages completely gone or hidden. I've noticed that I also get the odd email from a stranger's account every so often. Which is really worrying.

This is a colossally stupid idea in my opinion. A lot of people, especially outside the US, will probably revert to SMS as the most stable and ubiquitous solution. But hey, what do I know...

Unfortunately people need to think about how they use words. Definitions exist for a reason, otherwise meaning is lost and confusion reigns. The legal definition of murder didn't haphazardly evolve, it was deliberately enshrined in sta

Not sure I follow you any more. In what way would you like to rethink this ethical schema? What schema?

Industries don't try to scale up pollution. The pollution is a by-product of trying to scale up profits. And one wrong doesn't make the other a right.

But that's the whole point. You can't just stand up and say 'i don't agree with your use of the word, therefore I'm going to change it'. That's the most ridiculous idea ever. Hey guys guess what, I now dec

That's something of a straw man. Air pollution is one thing. Deliberate experimentation with hazardous emissions calculated to be scaled up on a global level with impacts on us all, is a completely different thing.

Great points. The one thing I would respectfully disagree with is the idea that this stuff can be shut down by buyout, legal action or whatever. The fact that the technology and process is now 'out of the bottle' so to speak, mean

>> so it begs the question, what is the nature of the imagery generated? Yep, exactly. That's the question we're all going to have to deal with as AI grows in popularity and utility.

by jaggs 4y ago
That's a really good question, and it's key to the issue at hand I think. Any competent artist can create a lookalike style of another artist at will. It's just a matter of looking at the paint type, brushes, materials, strok

I think it might help if you understand how AI art works. They're not scraping images, they're scraping rules. Completely different thing. https://i.redd.it/2f00l6vsso6a1.jpg

This is excellent news. Hopefully many other countries will follow suit and ban this dangerous ideology before it does serious damage.

The thing most people don't really understand is that generative AI is not 'using' scraped Getty images in the conventional sense. The data that is used is collated to create a form of pattern of art. The system then creates

Um..that was absolutely not patronising. I apologize if it came across that way. I genuinely felt you might have some valuable information to share. We need to work together to clarify the facts as much as possible, surely?
